The '''Footpad '''(real name: '''[[Lanz]]''') is an unlockable multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', who becomes available after the player has has reached level 35. He uses a pair of daggers called [[Multiplayer Weapons#Shivs|Shivs]].

==Unique Moves ==

'''''The Second Chancer (High Profile)'''''

: The Footpad runs directly at his target and raises one of his Shivs for a high attack, (perhaps in attempt to stab at the head, neck or shoulders) but the target resists and pushes him back. Then, The Footpad ducks down to waist level for another attempt and stabs the lower torso of the target.

'''''Beat Down (Low Profile)'''''
: The Footpad approaches his target and than inflicts a rapid sequence of punches to the lower torso, followed by an uppercut to the targets jaw, sending the target's head back. Now the neck is exposed, he brings down his Shivs to the lower neck for the final blow.
:
:
'''''The Double Piercing (Low Profile)'''''

: The Footpad approaches from behind, grabbing his target by his/her left shoulder, stabbing them in the side of the abdomen twice, the second stab forcing his victim to the floor.
:
:

'''''The Swift Slasher (High Profile)'''''

: The Footpad runs to his target from behind, slashing them horizontally across their spine, and stabbing them in the left of the abdomen.

==Trivia==
*"Footpad" is an old-fashioned word for thief, but was replaced by the term "Mugger" in the late 15th century.
*In the Dutch version of the game, the footpad translates to "the highwayman".
*It is interesting to note that, in the trailer showing the Footpad, he is seen perhaps stealing something from the [[Barber]]'s waist, before becoming the target of the chase; not unlike the [[Pickpocketing#Pickpockets|Pickpockets]] from ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''.
**Pickpocketing is not an action performable in the mulitplayer. It is unknown how or why this action was performed in the trailer, however, it was most likely cosmetic.
**The Barber seems to be chasing the Footpad in order to assassinate him, however, the Footpad kills the Barber very shortly afterwards.
*In the Limited Codex Edition of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, on the multiplayer character card, there is a spelling mistake: "Cutting through groups of people, he moves towards his target as silent and deadly as a snake. Quickly, he rushes to his victim, brandishes his two knives and plants them into flesh, as if they were fangs. The target falls, '''the crowd creams''', but the Footpad has already vanished."
*Strangely, the Russian translation of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood labels him as "Soldier".
*Lanz is an old Germanic name, meaning that Lanz may possibly be German. If he is German, the fact that his elite gear consists of him wearing a turban barely makes any sense.
*His shivs have what looks like brass knuckles, which can be why he punches his target in his kill the Beat Down.
*It is implied that The Footpad carries two blades, but in-game only one is seen or used.

[[File:Zw-thebarber.png|thumb|The Barber.]]'''Baltasar de Silva, '''also known as the '''Barber''', is a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'', and a multiplayer character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. He uses a sharp [[Multiplayer Weapons#Razor|razor]] as his primary weapon.

==Unique Moves==
'''''The Straight Shave (Low Profile)'''''
: The Barber approaches his target from behind and forces him/her on their knees. He then holds his/her chin, causing the neck to extend, takes out his razor and slices the target's throat. The target then falls to the ground, effectively killing them.

'''''The Double Swipe (Low Profile)'''''

As he walks towards his target, the barber swiftly pulls out his razor and delivers a double slice to the neck, effectively ending his/her life.

'''''The Cut-Throat Razor (High Profile)'''''

The barber fluidly side steps (holding his razor low so it cuts the back of the target's knee) in front of his target as he delivers a lethal slash with his razor to the neck.

'''''The High Slash (High Profile)'''''

The Barber rushes at his target, drawing his razor and slashing his target's throat with such force that his victim's head is sent reeling to the right, than to the left as he violently cuts the throat with a large double slash, severing the target's jugular and caratoid. This is similar to ''The Double Swipe'', but after the second incision, The Barber dramatically raises his blade high.

*He was originally called the Butcher.
*He also bears a striking resemblance to [[wikipedia: Gangs of New York|Gangs of New York]]'s Bill "The Butcher" Cutting.
